The first time we met I was walking around
Losing my grip, about to break down
I could not look away, she held her gaze as well
I would never have thought there could be beauty in hell
The most beautiful face that I'd ever seen
With the eyes of an angel, so bright and so green
There she was - Welcome to war
Covered in blood - Welcome to war
In the mud and the rain - Welcome to war
Easing their pain - Welcome to war
The second time we met I lay waiting in line
Too close to my friend when he stepped on a mine
She tended my wounds, gave me a smile
Made me forget where I was for a while
The most beautiful face that I'd ever seen
With the eyes of an angel, so bright and so green
There she was - Welcome to war
Covered in blood - Welcome to war
In the mud and the rain - Welcome to war
Easing my pain - Welcome to war
But fate gave me no chance, happiness won't come to be
What the hell must I have done
To deserve what is done to me
What was numb is numb again
The softened heart turned back to stone
To shield from reality, for in life I am all alone
The third time we met, our camp had been bombed
When I asked her name, she could barely respond
I cleared the debris, laid down in the dirt
We were never to be, she was mortally hurt
The most beautiful face that I'd hoped would be mine
I looked into her eyes for the very last time
There she was - Welcome to war
Covered in blood - Welcome to war
In the mud and the rain - Welcome to war
No longer in pain - Welcome to war
Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
As far as Viking atmosphere goes in metal, I doubt there is a better band than Havamal.
Their name suits them.
The album keeps boosting the euphoria and ends off with one of the best tracks on it. Never lets go.
The only natural thing to do is to set it on LOOP and go through the adventure again.
Obligatory gym playlist material.
